The most filmed location in the world for movies and TV series

To become the most filmed location in the world is quite simple - you need to be diverse and not to give any particular emotion, to be in the center and always available, at the same time open to the public and of course to be in one of the cities of the leaders of film production. So for example the desert is not suitable, although it is near hollywood and meets all the basic requirements, but the emotions and plans that it can give very scarce, so it is canceled. And the city of the leader of production of the east coast of the USA New York just nestled such a location and it is of course the central park. This is the most filmed location in the world and let's get to know why it is so and how many movies have been shot there. We will not hide, we do not have the exact number, because although our site is the world's largest database of locations, but no one has a complete one yet. So we counted manually on all available sources and got a figure of 419 movies and TV series were shot in the central park. But why this place is so appealing to filmmakers, let's break down all the factors:

Geography - New York City in general is where a lot of movies are shot and it's probably the most popular city for cinematogrophy after Los Angeles, and the center of the city and its heart is Manhattan, and in the heart of Manhattan is Central Park. That is to say, we've packed the very center of one of the major cities in terms of footage.

Emotions - The park has every possible emotion and suits every genre - it's scary at night, sad in the rain, and cheerful in the sunshine, whatever genre you choose, the park is right for you. Plus - it's very visitable

Many views - there are cafes and trees and meadows, an old bridge, a small rock, a lake with boats, jogging paths, a skating rink in winter, and of course there are stunning natural views and views of the city. So finding the right angle for your shot will not be difficult. 

Accessibility - the central park is a public space, and a very large one, so it's not a problem to agree on filming with the administration, and to fence off part of the territory for filming, especially at night. 

Weather - this is not a desert, where it is always hot weather here is different, you can catch any state of the sky and if you need sad rain, you do not have to wait endlessly or make special constructions, you can catch it easily enough, as well as the sun and wind and sunset and dawn. 

Actors are a very important part. Actors need to be transported to the set and if they live close by, it's easier and cheaper to do so. And where all the famous actors in NYC live - that's right, around central park. 

So we mix all the ingredients and get the most filmed location in the world, and the gap is so big and the interest of filmmakers is not decreasing, so it is unlikely that this title will pass to another location in the next ten years. And what does it mean for us movie lovers? When you're in New York, you'll only need to enter one park to visit several hundred movie locations at once.
